Copy of tweet here: When religious culture has become complacent, when it has taken its symbols and myths too literally, when its understanding of God is too narrow, the dynamic forces in the God archetype turn against the constructs of religion and overturn them.~David Tacey Gita 4:7-8 Whenever there is decay of righteousness, O Bharata, And there is exaltation of unrighteousness, then I Myself come forth ; For the protection of the good, for the destruction of evil-doers, For the sake of firmly establishing righteousness, I am born from age to age.
